The Va- Hell In Disguise

THE VA- HELL IN DISGUISE Us Veterans know the deal, the rhetoric that thanks the VET for his/her service to the good ole US of A and promises to take care of us until death comes your way Is nothing but words, watch out, the Vaseline is not far behind. They will screw you and make it hurt, keep watching for the blood from your butt each and every day And it becomes hard to control what you were taught and to look deep in your soul to find The peace that war took away from you. There are some that care at the VA, but they are far and very few and very hard to find, Taking care of the VET is their number one priority is at the front door of every VA in this country, The lie is blatant the soul of the VA is to hang around until the pension comes, until then we are commanded to kiss their behind And even if you die, that is not on us, in fact they keep score and remind us daily that they will be free To add another Veteran to their list.
